Extracting statistical regularities from the environment is a primary learning mechanism that
might support language acquisition. While it has been shown that infants are sensitive to …

Statistical language-learning, the capacity to extract regularities from a continuous speech
stream, arguably involves the ability to segment the stream before the discrete constituents …

Creativity is part of human nature and is commonly understood as a phenomenon whereby
something original and worthwhile is formed. Owing to this ability, humans can produce …

Predictive coding theories propose that the brain constantly updates internal models to
minimize prediction errors and optimize sensory processing. However, the neural …

Pattern separation, the creation of distinct representations of similar inputs, and statistical
learning, the rapid extraction of regularities across multiple inputs, have both been linked to …

Environmental events often occur on a probabilistic basis but can sometimes be predicted
based on specific cues and thus approached proactively. Incidental statistical learning …

The ability to discover regularities in the environment, such as syllable patterns in speech, is
known as statistical learning. Previous studies have shown that statistical learning is …

In recent years, there has been growing interest and excitement over the newly discovered
cognitive capacities of the sleeping brain, including its ability to form novel associations …

Statistical learning is assumed to be a fundamentally general sensory process across
modalities, age, other cognitive functions, and even species. Despite this general role …

The shape of the cranium is one of the most notable physical changes induced in domestic
dogs through selective breeding and is measured using the cephalic index (CI). High CI (a …
